I meant that topaz, as used in the book, refers to the color yellow.

But topaz ISN'T yellow. It's occasionally stained yellow. It's like if I say his eyes were brown like paper and then you say "What?" and I say "It's paper that's got a coffee stain on, how could you not infer that from the text?"

Topaz is usually yellow. Typically when it's used to indicate a color, it's that color.

Obviously. Who else would he be trying to blame? The stone?

Let me quote for you the first paragraph of this oh so intriguing prologue:

Bella: I’d never given much thought to how I would die — though I’d had reason enough in the last few months — but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.

That made me lol so bad, I almost want to read it just for a laugh, But I'd never support that piece of shit Stephanie Meyer.

I didn't give much thought to what the number one movie in America would be today-- though I'd had reason enough in the last few months-- but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.

Okay, then let me rephrase that to include my thoughts behind that comment: Since it was the author who fucked up, there's no reason to continue debating whether or not her usage of the word is accurate in the given context.

A local movie theater is having a food drive for the needy. You can see any movie free if you bring 5 cans of food. I think I'll see Twilight this way so I don't put any of my hard earned cash in Stephenie Meyer's pocket. So, my question is, what sort of food should I take that would best express my opinion of Twilight?
After all, you can't buy canned dog shit.

I'm thinking canned wieners are the way forward here.
Take some chick who actually wants to see it and give her a surpise ass-fuck for me, dude.

I'll probably take a chick I've already sodomized at least once. It's pretty much a requirement of all my women. I'm such a pain in the ass.

Sadly, I am probably beyond the appropriate age to date giggly chicks.....but I keep trying anyway. I just ask them to call me Daddy Humbert--but most of them are too young to get the joke.

Just an FYI---you're still giving her money if you see it.
It's not your money, but she is getting money.

So who is paying for it then? The theater or the charity collecting the food? Either way they must be taking a loss. If they write it off on taxes as some sort of donation to charity then that write off doesn't go into her pocket. Who is paying her?
